For employees of Canadian pay groups, you can configure Dayforce to display an employee's full legal name on earning statements available in the employee self-service (ESS). The name format follows this convention: first name + middle name initial + last name + suffix. When this feature is enabled, it overrides the name format configured in the Name Display Format client property in the Employee section of the Properties tab in System Admin > Client Properties.
Important: The feature is permanently enabled in Dayforce when it is configured successfully. In addition, printed checks, printed direct deposit advices, Electronic Funds Transfers (EFTs), the Earning Statement Report, and the Check and Direct Deposit Register Report will also show the employee's full legal name.
To configure Dayforce to display an employee's full legal name on ESS earning statements:
- In the Properties tab in System Admin > Client Properties, click Payroll.
- Scroll down to find the Use Employee Full Legal Name (First M Last Suffix) on Canadian Earning Statements and Checks checkbox.
- Select the checkbox and click Save.
